Everyone should either get a basic income, adjusted for inflation and rising with age that is at the level of being able to live at least a functional, or enough systems should be set up so that the basics of a functional life are free.

Baisc rules of critical thinking should be taught in school from age six to sixteen (minimum) in the same way we teach maths, languages and basic scientific methods, alongside art. incorporate storytelling into language classes too.

same with basically any textbooks. also all scientific journals should be subsidised to the point regular people can access them without expensive subscriptions. same goes for humanities and economics papers.

it would, in fact, be cheaper to do both than try and make some weird cockeyed bureaucratic filtration mechanism in a desperate bid to find who deserves it and who doesn't.

Radium girls, oil rushes, gold rushes, dot-com bubbles even all the way back to agriculture and the advent of slavery. Some cockend will grab it and immediately fuck it up on the hunt for greater power and riches rather than letting the wealth flow naturally and benefiting with everyone.

proper LLM use at this juncture involves careful human oversight. LLMs are not oversight tools. They won't be for a while.
God, why does every human innovation of any scale involve a big pile of morons immediately trying to capitalise and hurting themselves and everyone else in the process?

because I don't think that people will be given the correct information needed to make informed consent decisions. China is not a democracy and American democracy is rapidly decaying; These are not conditions for the best standards of ethical research to be applied.

Medicine is tested on volunteers. Technology ethicists should know that. If the volunteers are he sick or the elderly its because the drugs or treatments being tested have something to do with the conditions they have. the Tuskegee experiments where very much non-voluntary

combine those factors with the increasing trampling of human rights by those in power, double up the 'urgency' since if the Chinese unlock eternal youth they ain't sharing it with the west for free and it adds up to a recipe for Tuskegee like experiments in the USA.

If we're looking at making brain uploads or emulations, modern connectome mapping technology requires microscopes to examine tissue samples since diffusion MRI and similar scanning isn't fine grained enough to map at nano-scales. fastest way to make the map? lots of dissections.
